Trade food for library fines in March

AURORA — The Aurora Public Library will conduct its semiannual Food for Fines drive March 1 through 31 at all locations. The drive also is held each November.

All library locations – Main, Eola Road Branch, West Branch, the Express Center and the Bookmobile – will accept one item of nonperishable food in payment for every $1 or increment of $1; up to $5 in fines per person.

More than 5,000 food items are donated by Aurora library patrons in a typical Food for Fines month. The program was instituted in 2000.

Only nonperishable, labeled items in cans that are not damaged, expired or rusty will be accepted (no glass jars please).
